IMPROVEMENT IN Hooxs AND Hrs.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, ANDREW BENNETT, of the city of Brooklyn iuthe-county of Kings, and State of New York, halve invented a new and improved Dress Hook; and I do hereby declare that the following isaf 'ull, clear;

and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the ert to [unite end'use the seine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming 6. part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a, perspective view of my invention.

Figure 2 is a plan or top view of the same.

Figure 3 is a. control sectional view of the same taken on the line :51,

This invention relates to such a construction of a dress hookwhich is frequently used on ladies" dresses, and for other purposes, so that the same cannot be spontaneously disengaged from the eye, while it should not require touch more than the usual force to unhook the sume if required. The invention consists in the use of a spring which is formed by an extension of the wire of which the hook is nndeiwherehy the aforesitidresults may be obtained.

A represents a; dress hook made of metal wire in the usual form and shape. Ee.ch e- ,diof the wire from drawings, so as to form side wires, :1 a; which almost come togetheriin front of the hill b of the hook; as

in figsil and 2. In order 'to introduce or unhook the eye'B, the frbntpo'rtion of the same must be pressed up th nds of the springs a a, so that it can pass around the end of the bill bi This bill is rather shorter 'but more sherply'bent than usual, (see-fig. 3,) as otherwise the springs would be either too short or could not be depressedeasy enough for hooking or unhooking. l I g Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by L'etters 'Putent, as an improved article of mafnufacturei l i A hook A, provided with side springs a a, substantially as and for the purpose herein shownand described;

' ANDREW BENNETT.
